Gonna try to be as concise as possible. I need help.
I like sweet scents that aren't going to send me to the dentist.
Examples that are too sweet: 1 Million, A*Men, Pi, etc.
Examples that are just right: D&G The One, Allure Homme, La Nuit (I can definitely go sweeter than this though), and especially Play Intense.
Play Intense was great, which means I'm willing to dip into some light gourmands. At first I didn't like it because it almost seemed medicinal; however, I came to love it. It is so sweet with limits. I also like that it seems similar to coffee, but not so close that I feel like a walking Starbucks, and at $43 for 1.7 oz I can't complain. So if you know anything similar to it then please tell me. Oh, and I've never tried Rochas Man...don't kill me.
Colognes that I'm looking into include Pure Coffee (because I hear it isn't as sweet as A*Men and I expect the name isn't literal), Armani Attitude (or Extreme, depending on which is the sweeter), or Dior Homme Intense.
And before anyone shouts DHI, I think it is important to note the fact that I dislike Dior Homme very much. It smelled like a deodorant stick combined with a layer of foundation or lipstick. I didn't get sweet from it at all but, considering DHI is supposedly more sweet, I want to try it out. Blinding is so risky though...
I like sweet with some spicy. Once again though, NOT TOO SWEET.
Any help will come appreciated (as long as it isn't pretentious or condescending). Suggestions welcomed. I don't mind if it is niche or designer, just nowhere above the price of DHI since that is the most expensive I mentioned. I also don't mind whether a mentioned fragrance is feminine or not, I'll even wear women's frags if they hit the spot. Oh, and if a fragrance has a little coffee then I'll give it top priority. I don't care if it seems immature or young, but I am weary of anything that smells "musky" because that is basically synonymous with musty which is gross. Also if describing a smell, do not label it with a euphemism. Example: "it's not old, just mature." Mature isn't a smell, just a feeling. I guess I'm also trying to say stay away from abstract representations of actual smells. I'm not a cologne/fragrance enthusiast, I just like things that smell good haha.
Sorry if I seemed to have limited/confined your responses with these recommendations. You don't necessarily have to follow them, they're just recommendations. I'm just hoping they'll help you help me. I'll respect your response regardless.
P.S. I bolded some words or fragments to signpost if you don't feel like reading all that. I wasn't as concise as I hoped I would be haha. Thanks to anyone that responds
